“…Moreover, very little controlled research has been carried out with an adequate psychiatric evaluation. On the basis of uncontrolled empirical studies on left-wing German militants, on members of the Algerian Front de Liberation Nationale, and on members of Hezbollah, terrorists exhibited no signs of psychiatric disorders 15 17 In Northern Ireland, a clinical examination 18 comparing 59 ordinary killers with 47 political murderers found that the latter were generally more stable, had a better family background, and showed significantly less evidence of mental illness.…”

“…Moreover, the study of extremism (conducted in extremist groups) represents an interesting avenue for research as problematic behavior such as terrorism (Post, 2005) has roots within branches of extremism. Indeed, it is quite noticeable that although the search term -terrorism‖ yields 5900 hits in the Thomson social sciences database (search performed June 1st , 2010), only a handful of articles and book chapters have investigated terrorists themselves (e.g., Jäger, Schmidtchen, & Süllwold, 1981;Knutson, 1980, Post, 2005Rasch, 1979).…”

“…Terrorists manifest a range of often quite different personality traits and come from a wide variety of backgrounds. It is also generally agreed that most terrorist activity is not due to mental pathologies (e.g., Rasch 1979;Heskin 1980Heskin , 1984Corrado 1981;Ferracuti & Bruno 1981;Jäger et al 1981;Süllwold 1985;McCauley & Segal 1987;Ferracuti 1990;Reich 1990a;Silke 1998). Although some researchers have suggested that terrorists are abnormal "in more subtle ways" (Crenshaw 2000, p. 407), most observers believe that terrorists are "disturbingly normal" (Hoffman 1998, p. 7).…”
